with -SCL Automatic 5" hot knife cut module
RX-200 Standard Duty Automatic Cutting Machines

The RX-200 table-top cutting machines use a high-speed stepping motor to accurately and quickly measure to length. Ideal for ribbon, lightweight webbing, hook & loop, strapping, cord and materials spooled on standard sized rolls. Cutting modules, such as hot knife, guillotine, angle cutting, etc. can be quickly and easily changed to enhance the functions of the machine.
Standard color touchscreen control allows programming in either metric or inches, adjustable dwell timers, feeding and ramp speeds, and user calibrations Enhanced models have photocell registration cutting (with optional photosensor), and saving programs to memory. Our automatic cutting machines are all built-to-order to fit the requirements of the user.
Some common RX-200 Pneumatic Cutting Modules:
SCL - 5" (130mm) hot knife strip cutter

Switching from HOT TO COLD on the RX-200
has never been faster or easier. Just watch!
Cutting & Counting in Multiples

Did you know that enhanced models will CUT AND COUNT IN MULTIPLES when cutting more than one strip at a time?
Simply program the number of strips (up to 3) and the cutting machine will automatically count by the multiplier as shown in the video.

Automatic Prefeed Devices​
Consider using a Prefeed Device when higher precision and/or output is needed from any type of strip cutting machine. These devices work by maintaining consistent tension on the webbing prior to being indexed by the cutting machine. The tension is automatically monitored by use of either a dancer-arm or non-contact photosensor. Use the Standard model RX-102 for most applications and the RX-154 for heavy-duty webbings and materials. Material reels can be supported by a built-in holder or use your own standalone holder. These models can be customized for the work process as needed.
​
NEW! RX-102 & RX-154 Prefeed Devices
​
Used for pulling material from boxes or heavy spools to increase the precision and cutting speed on any automatic strip cutter. Fee-standing chassis with built-in material holder. Both models include variable speed controls, jog, and dancer-arm. Optional photo-sensor for sensitive or very elastic materials.
​
These models can be customized to handle large rolls, pull from boxes or hoppers and run from in either direction as needed by the workspace.
Optional accessories include auto-stop sensors to detect knots & splices which can cause jams.
Model RX-104 - Standard duty model for RX-100 and RX-200 strip cutting machines.
Model RX-154 - Heavy duty model for RX-240 models.
​
Available in either 120V or 230V mains.
